In this solution, we discuss how to test for browser compatibility and, if not compatible, how to correct the incompatibilities.
While the current versions of most popular browsers handle the latest HTML5 specifications well, this is not the case for older browsers. Of particular concern are versions of Internet Explorer before version 9.
A favorite website is: www.findmebyip.com.

As you can see, most of the features of HTML5 work fine on this browser. Depending on your browser, or
browser version, you may get different results.
Another site, www.caniuse.com, presents a comprehensive group of tables that discuss the compatibility of various browsers with HTML5.

One of the great features of www.caniuse.com is the ability to filter information and focus in on the elements you are concerned about. There are also numerous discussions and tutorials associated with this website.
One of the most widely used HTML5/CSS resource sites is www.modernizr.com.

This site offers a powerful downloadable JavaScript library that will adjust HTML5 and CSS3 code in order to target specific browsers. This project is open-source, and is therefore entirely free. Most developers using HTML5 are using this library as a means of checking and adjusting code.
Because HTML5 standards are evolving, we strongly recommend that you do not revise existing sites entirely. Instead, start to employ elements from HTML5 gradually, as updates become necessary.
